    The place is good, the music is good. However, the staff was not that friendly. The attention we received was inefficient and careless.

    Good cava for a very fair price (65 sek) to be in Stockholm. It, however, gets quite noisy during peak hours.

    It would’ve been 4 stars because our original waiter was very kind and accommodating, but the second waiter who came was rude and unprofessional we weren’t even finished with our drinks and he shoved the bill in our face and rudely interrupted us to pay even though we weren’t finished or asked for the bill. We asked if the bar was closed as we wanted to get another drink and he gave us attitude. Afterward when we finished our final drink we called for the bill and he gave us even more attitude and said “so you’re sure you ask for it this time??” As if he was blaming us for miscommunication about the bill the first time even though we never asked for it when he brought it. I told him I didn’t like his attitude and he raised his voice saying he didn’t like mine and walked away. Unprofessional and petty.

    Such a shame. Food is OK. Drinks are what you'd expect from a cava bar. Service is mediocre. They are good at making sure you never have an empty glass but don't expect to easily place a food order or to have dirty plates cleared. What really drags it down is it gets so busy personal space is non-existent. We left after someone sat so close to me they literally sat on my hand and separately on a jacket. We also got to see someone who worked there asking a table of two to move to another table so they could seat four people there instead. It was a small, round table designed for two people and this was on the opposite side of the hand-sitter! We ended shoulder-to-shoulder. Not at a safe distance, as is legally required.

    Love this place! Staff is very kind and they have lots of great choices for wine and cava at a very reasonable price.

    Nice, central, busy bar. I visited on a Friday night 400 SEK for a bottle of cava which is good for Stockholm in this area. Only one toilet cubmicle so there was a wait to use the bathroom.

    The food wasn't bad and the glass of Cava wasn't a bad price, but if you're not a young certain type of Stockholm girl, they are not really interested in you. In a way it's quite funny seeing the difference in how we were served to how the groups of 20-something year old girls were served. It reeks of desperation but equally quite entertaining to watch. Unless you're really in to cheap Cava, I am not sure I would bother. Having them sit a girl so close to us she was basically on our laps wasn't welcome at all and it was clear they made their intentions felt. Not that we didn't spend money, our bill was 1700kr but that's the way it is. I'm not sure if that's their policy or just their staff prefer to try and hit on young girls, either way that's what happens.

    Overrated bar offering subpar frozen food.

  • 5/5 Erik-Yeghia A. 2 years ago on Google • 8 reviews
    This place is super nice, it has strong vibes and nice energy. The best Aperol Spritz i had in Stockholm, their spritz takes you to a trip to Venice. The food is fantastic, the head chef Juan is so talented, he makes the best tapas in Stockholm.

    Great service! Good selection of Cava. The Iberico platter is nice to share for three-four people.

    Good for afterwork. But a little bit expensive compare to other bars.

    We’re here in Stockholm for a business conference and we walked into this restaurant to get dinner because it had great reviews. We asked if we could be seated outside for dinner and the bartender told us we were drunk and rejected our service. We were completely sober. He was unfriendly and rude to our faces. We told him we would leave a bad review and then the other bartender followed us down the street 4 blocks without us knowing and when we saw him he admitted to following us and tried to start a confrontation with us. We told him to stop following us and he told us he was going to follow us all over the city, and only stopped following us after we told him we would go to the police. I do not recommend coming here.
